If you get anywhere near that limit, either you’re texting way too much or you’re subscribed to egoblogger Robert Scoble’s Twitter feed. Actually, this is good news. I recently hit this limit on my iPhone — I had some messages from September stored on there. Here’s my question: why is there a limit at all?

Gulik.jpgJoost fired its CTO, Dirk-Willem van Gulik, a company flack told NewTeeVee. For a replacement, the Web TV service named Matt Zelesko, formerly the company’s senior vice president of engineering. Here’s the weird part, though: van Gulik already has a new job.

The BBC’s Future Media and Technology Group appointed van Gulik chief technical architect this afternoon.

That news apparently surprised Joost. Joost PR first told NewTeeVee that van Gulik would continue as a consultant for the company. On a second call, the flack told the blog that van Gulik had been “terminated.”

What could have caused their story to change so fast? Here at Valleywag, we’re on the case, actively searching the Internet for a photograph of van Gulik’s girlfriend’s boobs or at least a shot of the CTO ripping a bong hit. Because why else does anybody get fired around here? You could, of course, let us know.
